    Lapband revision

    I had lapband in 2007 and did well. Went from a high of 258 to 170. It slipped in 2016 and was removed. Of course, the weight has all come back and I tried Qsymia, Contrave, Saxenda, Noom, WW (again!). I wanted to have a revision to the sleeve, but due to issues with GERD in band to sleeve revisions, and usually less successful weight loss, my surgeone said I should have the bypass instead. Unfortunately, a decent sized hernia was discovered during a pre-op endoscopy, and she says the risk rate for serious complications is now 20% due to scar tissue that will surely be there. And even if I don't initially have issues, they are likely down the road. Surgery is scheduled a week from today, and I just don't know what to do. I don't want serious complications, but I also want to be healthy and cannot lose the weight on my own. Would love to hear from you Katiebal_Lecter, or anyone else who had revision with a hernia. Thanks in advance. Sent from my LM-G820 using BariatricPal mobile app

    April surgeries

    deena10 I'm on day four of the liquid diet. Mine is very strict, too. Down 4.6 lbs so far; my doc wants a 10 lb loss by the surgery date. I'll see her on Monday for final visit before the big day the following week.

    Any April 2021 bypassers?

    I'm scheduled for bypass on 4/13. Started the liquid diet today. This is a revision for me. Got the band in 2009, and did really well, but it slipped about 5 years ago and had to be removed. Of course, the weight is all coming back. Was hoping for the sleeve, but I have a hernia, so my surgeon says bypass is the way to go. So, this is what I need to do to be healthy. Good luck to everyone!

    I'm scheduled for bypass on 4/13. Started the liquid diet today. So far so good, although I have a headache due to no caffeine. But that will subside, I'm sure. This is a revision for me.
